Thompson, who joined the department in 2003, is assigned as the Commanding Officer of Resource Management Division.

“These promotions represent an exciting time for our department,” stated Police Chief Wayne Scott. “Each of these officers brings her or her own set of skills to their new roles. They are well-prepared for their new duties, and will serve our city well.”

As a result of these appointments, Deputy Chief Brain Cheek moves from the Support Bureau to the Management Bureau, and Captain Shon Barnes moves from commanding Patrol Division 1 (formerly Central Division) to commanding the Operational Support Bureau.
